JShelter browser extension

[Member sybok]

Hi all, I stumbled across a privacy-oriented extension that I found interesting (based solely on its description).
I wanted to share it even though I did not have time to familiarize with it (yet) and hence I cannot provide any more information.

Hi sybok,
thanks for info, the jsshelter project announced that the project
was coming to an end, no commits in last two months make it look like that
has definitely happened. Sounded interesting in approaches, maybe we can
watch for a fork or other signs of further support and development.

From the site Blog.
Final remarks on the JSR project
Tue 10 May 2022

The JavaScript Restrictor (JSR) project (supported by NGI0 PET Fund, a fund
established by NLnet with financial support from the European Commission’s Next Generation
Internet programme, under the aegis of DG Communications Networks, Content and Technology under
grant agreement No 825310) is heading towards its end, and we summarize what the project
gave JShelter and reiterate the chosen approaches.

For now maybe worth looking at in a throwaway fox install. What also irritates is the number of further
browser extensions suggested, too many might cause instability.

Reading on the EU side I found

The EC announced renewed EU finding for NGI under Horizon Europe. For the period 2021-2022, the EC will dedicate EUR 62m to support top Internet innovators in the areas of Trust and Data Sovereignty on the Internet; Trustworthy Open Search and Discovery; Internet Architecture and Decentralised Technologies; as well as enhanced EU-US and EU-Canada cooperation and collaboration.The EC announced renewed EU finding for NGI under Horizon Europe.

Enhanced cooperation with US and Canada, they spy on everybody. I guess in polit speak that part means
EU citizens are meant to feel safe while their data is shared with 5 eyes countrys.

Hi, intent to continue to work on JShelter is expressed at the blog’s final remarks on JSR (https://jshelter.org/jsrfinal/) though the JSR is done.
May be, the author of NoScript (involved in JShelter) will incorporate some of the improvements/enhancements.
